flip-flops & cinematic history

I love that they are wearing flip flops.

They are known everywhere else in the world as thongs. Americans are the only people I've ever heard calling them flip-flops.

@cursum_perficio...amazing post, amazing, just brilliant.

What are they called when you wear socks with them

@ncc1701....with socks? They are then called a fashion faux-pas

David looks to me like he is wearing sneakers. Is it really "flip flops", {Damn I hate Those} let me go look again...

Ncc1701 with socks it's just pure and simply getto, if you ever heard the expression.

lmfao man

nope ,your a canadian getting your beer out of the snow bank ....

Hippies in space! Are we to discover the origins of hippies!

hahaha...i have lurked on this forum for a while now. this post brought me out into the open though. Flipflops as they are called in the UK would indeed be a most impractical item of footwear for the ensuing carnage. As a UK expat recently moved to Australia I was briefly confused by the term 'thongs' in relation to aforementioned footwear. I was under the impression momentarily that I would have to wear a g string to the beach..not a good look for a middle aged chap. Happily for all I discovered that the 'stralians meant flipflops. Excellent forum by the way.

With thongs and socks, in Australia we call it "bogan" I think you can Google the term ;-P

The question is, if you wear them on a starship in space, when you inevitably stub your toe on a bulkhead, can anyone hear you scream?

hahahahah No, could be called married life also

dontburstmychestman: Hope your move was a good one, and WELCOME! Whatever you do, don't call them 'jandals'. You don't want to be mistaken for a New Zealander!!!!!!!!

[b]lmfao..."THONGS"... HATE 'EM!!![/b]

Cypher: Bogan is more someone who would wear thongs to a wedding!

thanks 'theSnark'. Yes, I reckon the move was a good one, thanks for the welcome. i just hope we are not delayed in getting the awesomeness of Prometheus in our cinemas down under. Jandals....laughs, is that what Kiwis call them?

dontburstmychestman: Yep, Kiwis call 'em jandals. Why? Who the hell knows!! As for the delay in seeing Prometheus. We got The Avengers a good week before the US! It could happen again!!

Love The "Roos", and "Auzzie Rules Football" Rules Dude!!! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1fosters.jpg[/img]
